  1. Once more for the idiot in the room I HAVE NEVER MENTIONED FOX HOUNDS ... Hopefully that has finally sunk in !!! You do what you want fella ... You seem to have all the answers and knowledge you need it doesn't make a fukcs bit of difference to me what you do with your dogs and how hungry or full they are when you take them out .........
  2. If you believe what a CO says on behalf of his troops you will believe every word Cameron says ... It's mostly engineers and they won't be trained in dealing with Ebola and the protective force that will be infantry certainly won't be trained in disease Management ... I dont see this as part and parcel of the modern British army ... The British army isn't trained in disease management ... It's trained in conflict and the ever evolving art of war .......
  3. I would not be happy if I was one of the 700 troops being sent out that shit hole to help with the Ebola outbreak ... Since when was that a soldiers job ??? Fukcing government couldn't give two shits about our service men .......
  4. Great photo socks, how did you find it, working with german shepherds? I found the shepherds out of all the dogs the most reliable and able ... Rotties can't easily do obstacle work and burn out fairly quickly on intense exercise and Belgian shepherds just don't have an off switch and are easily distracted if they are not kept busy ... I did do a bit of work with a giant schnauzer and that was a very capable dog ......
  5. I never mentioned a fox hound ... There you go again seeing words that are not there ... There really must be a medical term for this ??? Yes an animal hunts because its hungry ... It catches its prey it eats it and goes to sleep ... Wouldn't be much of a hunting dog if did what a wild animal did would it ??? That's why comparing a wolf that's hungry and kills to survive is irrelevant when talking about a dog that's expected to catch rabbit after rabbit after rabbit ... The dog is hunting because we have developed it into what we want not what it was ... We have increased its prey drive but al
  6. Your miles off fella ... A hungry dog is a hungry dog simple as that ... A well fed dog that is comfortable will be far more tuned into what he is doing ... Do greyhounds get starved before racing to run better ? No ... Do sled dogs get starved off before a race ? No ... Do protection dogs get starved off before a patrol so they bite harder ? No ...........
  7. A hungry dog has its mind on food not on the job and has less energy for the job in hand .... This dog was never starved off and believe me he was plenty animated lol ........
  8. Exactly what I said to my missus the very first time I seen this on the news 4 years ago ... Guilty guilty guilty .......
  9. Absolute nonsense I have done a fair bit of work with protection dogs and they are never fasted to to be more responsive or driven .........
  10. Lol ... It wasn't quite that difficult ... Infact it was just sat knackered on the grain ........
  11. Fukc me how old do you think I am ... Doesn't matter I have got it now ... It was on the tail feathers .......
  12. How do I find out who owns it through its ring ??? ......
  13. It would have been great to meet some of the kids that the fishing charity money whent to this year and see the happiness it can bring but just knowing that I helped contribute in a tiny way is enough for me .......
  14. Brilliant as usual ......
  15. Gotta drink the wine and eat the raisins..
  16. Unfortunately for you I had already quoted your original post ... But good effort of trying to weasel out of what you said ........
  17. Do you read things that are not there ? Must be a medical term for that ... Nobody has said you have to feed your dogs every 8 hours ......
  18. Just what I was going to say ... Hadn't he already got people paid up and he plans his first trip for 2016 I think .....
  19. Agree ... Mine get fed at around the same time each day dependant on weather ... work etc ... But when I throw them down a large rib or spine of raw then I feed much earlier so they have time to eat it before they are kennelled .....
  20. Done this already and it won't let you sign twice .....
  21. There you go you have learned something new today ........
  22. Why would a lurcher in the winter be eating three times its normal amount ? Oh and by the way a dogs digestive system works better on a large meal ... So,yes it will need feeding again ......
